Hager MCN463 MCB 63A 4-Pole 6kA Type C — Made in France

Hager MCN463 MCB 63A 4-Pole 6kA Type C

The Hager MCN463 is a 63A, 4-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) built to protect distribution circuits from overloads and short circuits. With a Type C tripping curve and 6kA breaking capacity, it suits circuits with moderate inrush current — motors, transformers, and mixed commercial loads — across residential, commercial, and industrial panels. Made in France, it carries Hager's full European engineering and manufacturing standard for long service life in demanding installations.

Key Features

• 63A rated current, Type C tripping curve (5–10 × In) for loads with moderate inrush
• 4-pole (4P) design — switches all phases plus neutral together
• 6kA breaking capacity (Icn) for reliable fault clearance
• 400V rated operational voltage, 50/60Hz
• Compact 4-module DIN rail mounting, IP20 enclosure
• Screw terminals rated 1–35mm² (rigid) / 1–25mm² (flexible) conductors
• Complies with IEC safety standards for miniature circuit breakers
• Made in France — genuine Hager build quality

FAQ

• What's the difference between an MCB and an RCCB/RCD?
  An MCB (like the MCN463) protects circuits and wiring against overload and short-circuit current. An RCCB/RCD protects people against earth leakage/electric shock by monitoring current imbalance. The two do different jobs and are typically installed together in a distribution board, not as substitutes for each other.
• Is the MCN463 compatible with my existing Hager distribution board?
  Yes. The MCN463 is a standard 4-module Hager DIN-rail MCB and clips directly onto Hager DB rails alongside other Hager MCBs, RCCBs, and accessories.
• What does the Type C curve mean, and is it right for my circuit?
  Type C breakers trip on short circuit at 5–10 times their rated current, giving them tolerance for the inrush of motors, transformers, and other inductive loads. They're a common general-purpose choice for commercial and light industrial circuits; Type B is typically reserved for purely resistive residential circuits with low inrush.
• How many poles do I need for a 4-pole circuit?
  A 4-pole (4P) breaker switches all three phases plus the neutral. Use 4P when you need to fully isolate a three-phase circuit, including the neutral conductor — common on larger commercial and industrial distribution boards.
• Can I install this myself?
  No. MCBs are hardwired into a live distribution board and must be installed or replaced by a licensed electrician in line with UAE wiring regulations.
